UNITED NATION, New York (IRNA) -- Lebanese President Emile Lahoud on Tuesday thanked Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenii, President Mahmud Ahmadinejad and the Iranian nation for their unsparing support for Lebanon in Israel's 33-day war with Lebanon.
In a meeting with Ahmadinejad on the sidelines of the 62nd UN General Assembly session, Lahoud also appreciated Iran for its contribution to Lebanon's reconstruction.
He also stressed the need for expansion of mutual relations.
Ahmadinejad, for his part, hoped that internal problems in Lebanon would be settled in line with the country's interests.
He said that the 33-day war and Zionist regime's merciless invasion of Lebanon showed that despite being a small country, Lebanon managed to break invincibility myth of the Zionist entity.
This showed that faith and efforts have influential and decisive power, he added.
The Iranian chief executive also hailed Lahoud's efforts to safeguard Lebanon's dignity and sovereignty
